Thanks for dingging into this. I'll give it another try and try to figure out why it worked for me, but I expect I'll find the same problem. Here is a pointer to the docs I saw: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#argparse.ArgumentParser.set_defaults "Parser-level defaults can be particularly useful when working with multiple parsers. See the add_subparsers() method for an example of this type." Regards, Simon
